  An exciting read I couldn't wait for the conclusion of this short story. Although the writing waxes and wanes, it was still an interesting little story. I look forward to reading more about Jane Perry. I posted this on 30 July 2010

• Madame de Staël finished
• Promissory Payback finished
• You're Only as Sick as Your Secrets finished

  What happened? I enjoyed the first "blog entry," but this failed to excite or enthrall me. The story wasn't that interesting, and it's supposed to be a blog, but after the first few installments you become increasingly aware that it's the author's voice not the character.

• Anonymous finished
• Fetching Raymond finished
• Classic Shorts: Eight Stories for Summer finished
• Who is Mark Twain? finished

  Diverse selection of Twain's work I haven’t read that much of his work besides what was required of me in school, but I enjoyed this small anthology of Twain’s previously unpublished works. There’s a good variety of essays and short fiction on diverse subjects.
  
  Some of the essays were over my head, but entertaining nonetheless. If you can get past the first short story then you’ll be golden, it gets better after that. I posted this on 30 July 2010
